Liam Cullen leads Wales to Nations League promotionBy Phil Blanche, PAWales won Nations League promotion as Liam Cullen’s first two international goals helped them to a 4-1 victory over Iceland. Promotion was achieved the hard way following Andri Gudjohnsen’s early strike, and for 25 minutes Wales were staring at a relegation play-off against a League C runner-up. It was Wilson’s fourth goal in this Nations League campaign and his 12th in total for Wales. Cullen sent a grasscutter at Hakon Valdimarsson and drew Wales level after 32 minutes by nodding home Johnson’s cross. Wilson did the rest with an unerring 20-yard shot to confirm that Wales will now be beginning their World Cup campaign rather than entering the Nations League play-offs.
